I’m curious as to what everyone’s reasons are! The Linux desktop has came quite a far ways in the last few years and is improving every day. I’d say for most people, Linux could easily replace Windows as their daily driver nowadays.

It’s a preference thing. I just like Windows better. I know bash decently well, use WSL and have no qualms about using the Linux CLI, but for a GUI I’ve always thought Windows did a better job. For a “it just works” system it’s also worlds ahead of Linux (insert “well ackshully this specific distro does X now”), and I’ve stayed with Windows the whole time. I manage Linux servers at work, and also Windows servers and I can manage both from my Windows machine without having to jump around.
Now macOS? I won’t touch with a 10’ pole.
Why?
For me, honestly, their windowing system is terrible. I hate that it’s design is being adopted by windows 11. I’m just going to stick with KDE and windows 10 rip off kde.
Other than that, it seems like a fine bsd derived os. I used to like MacBook hardware, but it feels like build quality has taken a nosedive in recent years. Smthat was the only reason I would consider getting a Mac, and I would probably install Linux in it anyway.
